To sum it up in one sentence:

"a bunch of blokes, sitting around drinking beer playing games on their networked PC's"

Big emphasis on beer.

usually there's about 40 ppl.

We all go out for a curry as well just to make the room smell nice

How nerdy would you say the group was on a scale of 1 - 10? 10 being most nerdy. i.e what % of the people there have girlfriends?

Serious question.

Would 12 be too high a number for that then lol???

The only reason I ask is because something like this would be a laugh providing I wasn't surrounded by nerds. I need to know.

seroius answer follows:

Demographics:

18-20 Years old - 15%
20-30 Years old - 50%
30+ - 35%

Most of the people going have partners (including myself), I'd say over half. - many of the people have kids.

The guys going (aside from the gaming & drinkning) use the weekend as a form of escape - to have a mini break from the "real-world" doing things they enjoy & having a few beers.

That do you?

/edit.

Yes, there are a few ubergeeks, but the majority are "normal" people

Officially **** & warez are not allowed.

during "peak times" - 11am - midnight filesharing is disabled - only to encourage people to play games - otherwise it turns into a leachfest

Serious question.
I think most people go to these events to escape from their other halves / kids, etc.

With regards to nerds, as long as you stay away from people with glasses, crap haircuts and perspex panels in the side of their PC you should be ok
